Abstract

To introduce the increased efficiency and improved health care provision brought by incorporating a certified clinical pharmacy management (CPM) system into an existing hospital information system. Evaluate the appropriateness rate of prescriptions or orders, the rational use of antimicrobial use, and the workflow of clinical pharmacist before and after the adoption of the CPM system. The adoption of the CPM system markedly increased the appropriateness rate of prescriptions and orders by 89% in 2011 as compared to that of 2010. The CPMS decrease the antimicrobial use both in outpatients and inpatients by 47.0% and 51.9 respectively in December 2011 as compared to that of January 2011. The CPMS also streamlined the clinical pharmacist’s workflow and help disseminate medication use knowledge and policies within the hospital.
